Is Your Roof Ready?

8/5/2024 (Permalink)

A safe and well-maintained roof is crucial for homeowners in West Tennessee, where weather conditions can be unpredictable and sometimes severe. Our region experiences a range of weather patterns, including heavy rainfall, strong winds, and occasional tornadoes, all of which can take a toll on residential roofs. A sturdy roof not only protects the house's structure and contents from water damage but also plays a vital role in maintaining energy efficiency and indoor comfort. And let’s be honest… these West Tennessee summers are brutal!

Regular roof inspections and timely repairs are essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your roof. Neglecting minor issues can lead to more significant problems down the line, potentially resulting in costly repairs or even premature roof replacement. Moreover, a damaged roof can compromise your home's insulation, leading to increased energy bills.

For homeowners in Chester, Hardin, Henderson, and McNairy Counties, SERVPRO is available to provide professional roof repair and replacement services. Their experienced team can assess the condition of your roof, identify any issues, and offer tailored solutions to address your specific needs. Whether you require minor repairs or a complete roof replacement, SERVPRO is happy to provide a quote for their services, helping you maintain a safe and secure home in West Tennessee.

Give us a call at (731) 983-0883 to find out more about what we offer when it comes to roof repair and replacement. We’re here to help!

SERVPRO of CHHM Owners Tee Off for Learning at Annual SERVPRO Convention

SERVPRO Owners Jeff Miller, Casey Freeman, and Joey Hale joined by golf pro Brent Snedeker

On July 8, 2024, the owners of SERVPRO of CHHM - Jeff Miller, Casey Freeman, and Joey Hale - swung into action at the annual SERVPRO Golf Tournament. This event kicked off a week of learning and networking opportunities for SERVPRO® franchise owners from across the country.

While the tournament promises a day of friendly competition on the greens, it represents much more than just a game of golf. It's a prime example of how SERVPRO brings its franchise owners together, fostering an environment of shared learning and collaboration.

"These events are invaluable," says Jeff Miller. "They give us a chance to connect with other owners, share experiences, and learn from each other's successes and challenges." 

The tournament serves as a prelude to the main event - the SERVPRO Convention in Nashville, TN, running from July 8-12. This annual gathering is a cornerstone of SERVPRO's commitment to continuous improvement and education for its franchise owners.

"We're really looking forward to the convention," Joey Hale explains. "It's a week packed with workshops, seminars, and networking events. We always come away with new insights and strategies to improve our operations."

The convention covers a wide range of topics, from the latest restoration technologies to marketing strategies and operational best practices. It's an opportunity for owners to stay at the forefront of the industry and ensure they're providing the best possible service to their communities.

"What sets SERVPRO apart is this culture of shared knowledge," Casey Freeman notes. "Whether it's on the golf course or in a convention hall, we're always learning from each other. It's what helps us stay 'Faster to any size disaster'."

As the SERVPRO of CHHM team engages in this exciting week of golf, learning, and networking, they're reminded of the strength of the SERVPRO network. It's a network built not just on individual franchises, but on the collective wisdom and experience of owners across the nation. They are extremely grateful to be involved in such a welcoming and encouraging community.

Celebrating Independence Day and Honoring a Local Vet

MSgt Joey Hale with co-owners Jeff Miller & Casey Freeman

As we approach the 4th of July, we at SERVPRO of CHHM are filled with pride for our nation and gratitude for those who have served to protect our freedoms. This year, our Independence Day celebration takes on special significance as we also honor one of our own - Joey Hale, co-owner of SERVPRO of CHHM, who is retiring from the United States Air Force after more than 20 years of dedicated service.

Joey’s passion to serve began early, leading him to the United States Air Force, where he served faithfully since 2003. In his active duty military career, he deployed 70 times directly supporting two past Secretaries of Defense and, indirectly, the Presidents over them; including a deployment under Operation Enduring Freedom and Joint Task Force Katrina. During his service, he has exemplified the core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. His unwavering commitment to our nation's defense has been an inspiration to all of us at SERVPRO of CHHM and to the wider community.

As we gather with family and friends this 4th of July, lighting up the sky with fireworks and enjoying summer barbecues, let's take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by servicemen and women like Joey. Their dedication ensures that we can continue to celebrate our independence and enjoy the freedoms we hold dear.

While Joey's military career may be coming to a close, his service to our community continues through his work with SERVPRO of CHHM. The leadership skills, discipline, and dedication he honed in the Air Force are evident in his approach to helping our customers recover from disasters and return their properties to their former glory.

This 4th of July, we invite our community to join us in not only celebrating our nation's independence but also in honoring Joey Hale's remarkable career in the Air Force. His transition from military service to community service through SERVPRO of CHHM is a testament to his enduring commitment to making a positive impact.

To Joey and all our veterans: We salute you. Your service reminds us of the true meaning behind our Independence Day celebrations.

Happy 4th of July to all, and congratulations to Joey Hale on his well-earned retirement from the United States Air Force!

BE PREPARED! Things you can do now that will make your home disaster claim go smoother

4/26/2021 (Permalink)

1. Make an inventory list
   1. Go through each room of your home and take photos from each corner. Note the photos, art and other possessions. Take close-ups of items of exceptional value, whether sentimental or financial.
   2. List items on a spreadsheet, include model and serial numbers, manufacture dates, and other pertinent information.
   3. Include a general estimate of the quantity of everyday items like silverware, linens, and even clothing items. Ex: 10 Men’s T-shirts - XL, 4 men’s dress slacks - Size 34/32
2. Scan or photograph important documents and save onto a flash drive.

These can help you obtain replacement documents, or file claims in the event your originals are destroyed. Don’t forget to include your inventory list. NOTE: keep this drive in a safe, fireproof location, or in a safe deposit box at the bank. Be sure to update the files every year, or any time something changes.

3. Don’t hold on to junk!

Get rid of unused, broken, or unwanted items as soon as possible. When you have damage to your home, some or all of your contents, down to canned goods and refrigerated items, may have to be removed (and inventoried) during repairs. Save yourself and your SERVPRO technicians some time by throwing out or donating your unused items regularly.

4. Schedule an insurance review with your agent.

Familiarize yourself with your coverages, limits, deductibles, and exclusions. Talking with your agent and asking questions ahead of time, will prevent unexpected and unwelcome surprises at claim time. Many times we depend on our agents to have us “fully covered”, but everyone is different, and so are our insurance needs.

5. Lastly, if something should happen – DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!

Call us at SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy Counties. Your first instinct in a disaster will be to try to restore order. You’ll want to pick up, or attempt to clean and sort damaged items. Truthfully, that’s the last thing you should do and here’s why:

1. It may not be safe to be in your home, or to handle the contents. This will depend on the type and severity of damage, but safety must come first.
2. You may inadvertently cause irreparable damage to your possessions. SERVPRO professionals are trained to handle contents, clean or contaminated, without causing further damage or contamination.

Call SERVPRO of Chester, Hardin, Henderson and McNairy Counties! We’re here for you 24/7!
